Fruity Angel Food Trifle

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2011

I've made this a couple of times - mostly as written but since we have someone allergic to kiwi, I switched it out for honeydew melon. Very tasty and lots of compliments.

Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2010

This was incredible! My family joined another family for Thanksgiving one year and instead of the traditional Turkey and fixings, we went Indian. This was the appetizer and I got many compliments. The pear flavor was subtle but made a very nice balance with the squash - I think I used an acorn squash because that's what the store had! Anyway, very, very good!

Creme Brulee French Toast

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2010

I've made this many times - the men at the church breakfast go wild for it. The only thing I changed was to use maple syrup instead of corn syrup and added almond extract instead of Grand Marnier. This one's a keeper! Thanks for sharing.

Ronaldo's Beef Carnitas

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

This was ok. Seemed like all I tasted was the chile powder. It was pretty good the next day to put in tortillas. Probably won't make again or if I did, would have to play with the seasonings.

Potluck Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2008

This was great. Everyone loved it. Nice side dish for just a few ingredients. Only thing I would change is decrease the water a bit - the rice was a bit on the soupy side. That could just be me though - I've never had much luck with rice! Nevertheless, I'll make this one again.

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2007

I loved this because it was simple and had great flavor. I made it as a side to the Slow Cooker Chile Verde (on this site) and it was very good. Will probably not need to try any other Spanish rice - this is perfect.

Slow Cooker Chile Verde

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2007

This was very good. The meat was very tender after 6 hours on low and the flavor was great. If I didn't have to make it for my children, I would've put in more heat (my preference). The only thing that I had a problem with was that it was too soupy. That may have been because I had to modify somewhat since I didn't have any green salsa - I only had one can of green enchilada sauce. I also added a can of black beans. But I can't imagine that adding 4 more cans of sauce would've made it any less soupy, just more green. I ended up putting a little cornstarch in it to thicken it up while I continued to cook it with the lid off. I paired it with Best Spanish Rice (from this website). I'll probably make this again but play with it a bit.

No Time to Cook Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2007

This was pretty good. I even did everything wrong and it still turned out good! I used frozen chicken breasts, put in the sour cream at the beginning instead of at the end and used cream of chicken and mushroom instead of celery. I put it over rice and no one complained.

Easy Spicy Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2007

Yum! I followed the advice of one reviewer and used taco seasoning. They tasted a little like JoJos - but better. 40 minutes was just right. My kids and I went wild for this - husband doesn't like potatoes so he doesn't count! This goes in the rotation.

Chicken Florentine Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2007

Oh my - this definitely goes in my favorites! I wasn't sure at first with all the different flavors but they worked so well. I think the bacon was the perfect touch. The only substitution I made was I used Provolone cheese instead of mozzarella. Tasted like something from a restaurant and I normally don't say that when there's cream of mushroom soup involved! We put it over rice - delish!

Tater Tot Casserole II

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2007

I've been making this for years - it's my comfort food! I usually use two cans of cream of mushroom though and a can of drained green beans. Easy, filling, you get all the food groups - what else could you ask for?

Colorful Kielbasa

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2007

Hmmmm...I'm not sure about this one. I used medium grain rice (what I had on hand) and it turned almost creamy, like what I would think the texture of risotto would be. It was almost bland even with the cheese. And maybe if I'd cut the kielbasa a little bigger it wouldn't have seemed like there was so much of it. I was glad to come across the recipe and it wasn't inedible, just not something I'd make again.

Barbeque Beef Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2007

I'd be willing to try this one again because the changes I made might have affected the end product. I used Rotel tomatoes which made it really spicy which I liked but was too hot for others. Also I didn't have enough meat so the cornbread seemed overwhelmingly thick even though I used only half a recipe of Homesteader Cornbread (from this site per another reviewer). So next time I try this I'll make sure to have the right ingredients. It was edible just not the best thing I've eaten.

Tortilla Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2007

Yum - I really liked this one. I think the flavor of corn tortillas and eggs just really appeals to me. I changed this up according to what I had on hand - used 14 tortillas instead of 12, used regular onions chopped fine, and didn't include the chilies or pimentos because I used a can of Mexican tomatoes. Will be making again - thanks!

Chocolate Chip Orange Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2007

YUM!! I wish I could give this 10 stars! I can't stop eating this bread! The chocolate and orange combination is like a drug or something - addictive! The only thing I changed was to use mini chocolate chips as per other reviews so they didn't sink to the bottom. This is my new zucchini bread recipe - thank you!!

Chicken Noodle Casserole I

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2007

Decent - not the best but it was filling. I think the soup flavor was too strong for me - maybe one can of soup and the rest should be sour cream or something. Only thing I changed was I added peas. Probably won't make this again.

Peach Pie the Old Fashioned Two Crust Way

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007

My oh my - this was so good! Made it as written with my own crust and fresh peaches. Only thing I would change next time - drain the juice - it came out very soupy - still good, just didn't hold up even after several hours of cooling. Oh - and I forgot to put the butter on top of the peaches before I put on the top crust but it still came out wonderfully. My husband thinks I'm a genious now - thank you!

Country Brunch Skillet

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2007

This is my all time favorite breakfast/brunch dish - it's like a Denny's Skillet. I've been making it for a couple years now - probably twice a month. I use chopped ham instead of bacon - less mess that way - and I use Southern style frozen hashbrowns and I omit the green pepper - personal preference. Delish!

Sirloin Marinara

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2007

Pretty good - I had leftover steak so I used it instead of uncooked. Someone suggested caramelizing the onions so I did and that was yummy. I liked the red wine too - added some depth.

Oriental Cold Noodle Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2007

This was pretty good. I added a few more veggies to it according to what I had on hand - green onions, a bit of cabbage. Didn't put in as much red pepper flakes (1/2 tsp) because I knew the old ladies at church wouldn't appreciate it too hot! It keeps really well - I've been noshing on it for almost a week. I didn't change the amounts of anything - didn't have too much or too little sauce. I also didn't have any soba noodles (not in my small town grocery!) so I substituted spaghetti noodles. Perhaps I'll make it again someday.
